Personal growth
Life without goals, no matter how obvious it may sound, becomes aimless. Why don't wishes come true so often? Why do our dreams continue to be just dreams? People without goals become susceptible to other people's wishes. They are doing absolutely not what they should be doing in their lives. Instead of pursuing their goals, they are interrupted by small joys. There is one cool exercise called “100 goals in life.” It helps you set your life priorities and start moving towards the life of your dreams.
Exercise “100 Goals”
Formulate 100 goals that you would like to achieve. No more and no less.
Of course, doing this right away is not so easy. It is best to write down 10 goals over time.
There is no need to arrange them in ascending or descending order of importance or complexity. Just write down everything you would like to do or have in life.
Once the list of life goals is written, it will immediately become much clearer which goals should be focused on in the first place.
Your goals for the coming year
I recommend starting to plan your life with a list of 10 goals for the year.
My plan has an average of 50 goals for the year and 20-30 mini-goals. If this is your first experience and it’s difficult for you to assess your strengths, I recommend choosing easier goals. It’s better that you complete them in a month, then make a new list for the rest of the year. Each new plan will be more thoughtful, and with well-chosen goals.
It is very important that the first attempts to live with the prescribed goals are successful. Once again, I highly recommend making a simple plan to start with, even a list of tasks.
First, a simple plan.
To warm up your imagination and memory, study the examples below - lists of goals for the year by area of life. Additionally, study the lists: 20 goals, 25 goals, 50 goals and 100 goals. Make yourself a list of goals that will change you over the course of the year.

Develop abilities
What is your deepest wish? Many people dream of realizing their talent. But not everyone succeeds. Why? People are afraid to follow their dreams. Some people think that it is stupid to spend time on an activity, for example, music, if this activity does not generate income. Don't be afraid to do things that don't make you money. A person’s hobby is an outlet that helps relieve stress and recharge with energy. What abilities can you develop:
- learn to play a musical instrument;
- learn to dance;
- take a makeup course;
- master the art of hairdressing;
- learn to draw;
- learn to sing;
- learn to sculpt;
- take a nail art course;
- learn to cut wood;
- learn to mint;
- master the art of stained glass;
- master the art of pottery;
- try yourself as a photographer;
- try your hand at being a speaker.
Any desire can be fulfilled. And remember that you can always turn your hobby into your profession. But at the initial stage, you should not worry if your activity does not bring in money. You should develop your talents for fun. First you have to spend time and money on acquiring skills, only then can you expect dividends.

How to attract wealth, positivity and read 300 books
They say that if you write down 100 goals, and not just dream about them in your mind, then they tend to come true. Is it true. They also say: if you don’t wash your hair, it tends to get greasy.
You need to sit and visualize, watch motivational films. And the person himself will not even notice how he will become famous and independent - the main bastard in the house. It will piss off everyone at home.
Such a person will not even depend on the responsibility of taking out the trash, earning money and cleaning the house. Freedom and financial independence. Freedom to choose what to complain about: the state, Jews or unwashed hair.
The only goal that can be achieved without difficulty is degradation. In all other cases you need to plow.
